And once blame for the murder falls on Gareth himself, Gwen must continue her search for the truth alone, finding unlikely allies in foreign lands, and ultimately uncovering a conspiracy that will shake the foundations of Wales.

The Good Knight is a fun and exciting mystery set in medieval times. Gareth and Gwen are a great team, and I love solving the puzzles with them. The book is full of humor and adventure, and I can't wait to read the next one.

I've always loved historical fiction and stories that have strong, intelligent heroines that others would want to emulate. I didn't give it 5 stars was because the twist, the big reveal, felt so rushed. There wasn't any build up to it except for Gareth saying that he doesn't trust anyone. Plus, the subsequent events pretty much cemented the main suspect as the murderer (well he is, for that was his original intent). I also wished that an angle with Godfrid and/or Hywell with Gwen was explored by the author.

My enjoyment of this book was marred by the difficult to pronouce Welsh names. Some help with the pronunciations would have helped a great deal. They were like potholes in a road. And the expectation of a relationship between Gareth and Gwen was stretched far and then trivialised at the end. I realised their story grows through the series however I wanted more for them in this first book. I give it 3 stars for the political twists and turns, murder and mayhem is all on par with the time period.

About the author

With two historian parents, Sarah couldn't help but develop an interest in the past. She went on to get more than enough education herself (in anthropology) and began writing fiction when the stories in her head overflowed and demanded she let them out. While her ancestry is Welsh, she only visited Wales for the first time while in college. She has been in love with the country, language, and people ever since. She even convinced her husband to give all four of their children Welsh names.

With over a million books sold, Sarah is the author of over forty novels, all set in medieval Wales.

She makes her home in Oregon.
